“…Combination of VPs is done offline: since the APIs of these MIs are totally different, it is not easy to control a single experiment jointly using VPs from both platforms. Yet, results suggest that it would be desirable to leverage protocols such as LMAP [51] or mPlane [52] to systematically exploit both platforms in a unified interface.…”

Use of IP-layer anycast has increased in the last few years beyond the DNS realm. Existing measurement techniques to identify and enumerate anycast replicas exploit specifics of the DNS protocol, which limits their applicability to this particular service. In this paper, we propose and thoroughly validate a protocol-agnostic technique for anycast replicas discovery and geolocation, further we also provide the community with open source software and datasets allowing others to replicate our experimental results, potentially facilitating the development of new techniques such as ours.In particular, our proposed method achieves thorough enumeration and city-level geolocalization of anycast instances from a set of known vantage points. The algorithm features an iterative workflow, pipelining enumeration (an optimization problem using latency as input) and geolocalization (a classification problem using side channel information such as city population) of anycast replicas. Results of a thorough validation campaign show our algorithm to be robust to measurement noise, and very lightweight as it requires only a handful of latency measurements.

“…Most prominently, the LMAP (Large-Scale Measurement of Broadband Performance) working group of the IETF is busily working on a standard based on YANG and Netconf for this exact purpose [9] [8]. The scope of the work however has been restricted to devices under the control of a single administrative entity (the network operator) [5]. This-for an SDO-understandable restriction explains the protocol choice, but it is questionable whether Netconf is a sensible choice for more open platforms such as GLIMPSE, which is based on JSON over HTTPS.…”

Network measurements are essential for network operations and troubleshooting. A number of network measurement projects have developed measurement platforms to not only assess the state of individual networks and services but target certain aspects of the Internet as a whole.Measuring any aspect of the Internet is challenging for various reasons such as the sheer scale of the Internet or the dynamics of it. Building and operating a platform that has Internet-wide network measurements as a goal is therefore challenging.In this paper, GLIMPSE-an end user-based network measurement platform-is introduced and its architecture is described in detail. GLIMPSE is an attempt to build a measurement platform based on standard measurement techniques, external logic to trigger measurements and last but not least community support.

“…o Large-scale - [RFC7536] envisages Measurement Agents in every home gateway and edge device such as set-top boxes and tablet computers, and located throughout the Internet as well [RFC7398]. It is expected that a Measurement System could easily encompass a few hundred thousand or even millions of Measurement Agents.…”
